Octolol becomes Stereolol

This is a piece I wrote using recordings of my friends laughing. The original piece is written for a 8 speaker surround setup and explores the use of space to give movement to dry sounds. Unfortunately, I can't upload surround sound audio tracks onto my blog so here is the stereo version. I hope it makes everyone smile.

The Great Bear

Last year at College I had the privilege of having The Great Bear in the studio to record their self-titled EP.

I recorded, mixed and produced the tracks in Cardiff and In London; you can hear the tracks on their myspace -

This is a vintage style mix of "I'm old fashioned" That I mixed to sound like it's playing through a vintage wireless. Enjoy!

Everybody knows the Bird is The Word

This is an animation by the very talented Grace Bird, featuring a track I created for one of her other animations (shoes - check it out it's awesome!) But here she has used the whole track - enjoy!

Blockee

This is the iphone/ipod game that I did sound editing and track-laying for over the summer at Radium audio. I edited most of the sounds in Logic and Kyma. The vocals are actually mine!

Work from last year

This is a playlist of some of the work I produced for my second year portfolio last year at college.

2T is a tape and instrument piece featuring the trumpet talents of Emma-Jean Thackray.

Self Sampled is a piece exploring the percussive properties of the human voice.

Blend it like Bellringer is a piece that I composed using only manipulated samples of my hand blender.

Tongue tied is a piece that explores the concept of the transition of a synthetic sound world into one composed of acoustic vocal samples.

Uncanny is an acousmatic tape piece composed using sampled cans. It explores the ability of digital effects to ambiguate and disguise everyday sounds.
